GAIETY THEATER.
There will be three full reels of
pictures shown at the Gaiety tonight,
all of which are out of the ordinary
good. The first, "The Princess and
The Peacock" la a drama filled with
thrilling situations, beautiful scenery,
and picturesque costuming, which
teems with all the atmosphere and
romance of the past. It Is the first
picture taken by the Edison Stock
Co. In Cuba, and the scenic effect
alone would make It a success, even
were there not an exceedingly dramat
ic story told, which will hold the at
tention of any audience from the
opening to the closing scene.
The next picture Is a good comedy,
which is a scream entitled "Levi's
Dilemma," depicting the troubles of
Unci? Levi, a fchetto pawnbroker.
This subject is one jjf the most hu
morous farce comedies eyer shown in
Washington. The next Is also a
laughable cotaedy. done in the us
ual Staanay style, entitled "Henry's
Package." Other pictures will also
be shown that are equally m good.

Gaiety tonight and enjoy yourself.

Professor Freeman Gives Open
ing Recital on New 'Organ.
A SPLENDID INSTRUMENT
Large Number Attend t!?e Opening
of the iMr Organ at the Vint M.
E. Church? The Recital Charm*
Everyone ? The New Instrument U
Much Praised.
The much talked -of organ recital
took place at the First Methodist
Church last evnlng, being conducted
by Mr.* Henry H. Freeman, organist
and choirmaster of St. John's Episco
pal Church and Instructor in church
organ playing in the University of
Music and Dramatic Art, Washington,
D. C.
The opening of the new organ,
which was built by M. P.% Moler, of
Hagerstown, Md., the plans and spec
ifications of which were drawn by Mr.
Freeman, was an event of unusual in
terest for music lovers of the city.
In consequence of this Interest the
large auditorium was filled to over
flowing, and when the last number
on the program had been rendered
all left for their respective homes
feeling well repaid. Everyone present
was not only charmed with the play
ing of Mr. Freeman, but delighted
with the new instrument. For tone
and workmanship it is said to be one
of the most complete south of Nor
folk. Every modern device has been
Installed by the builder. The organ
is everything that could be desired in
tone, volume and finish, so much so,
that the organ committee of the
church will tio doubt accept it. The
Instrument is most attractive in ap
pearance.
Ever since the Installation began
some three weeks ago. everyone has'
been looking forward to the opening
recital, and when It was announced
that Mr. Freeman, an organist of na
tional reputation, had been selected
to give the opening all our people
were delighted. I.a?t night they were
not disappointed. Every number on
the prograr^ was a masterpiece ex
ecuted by a master. In addition to
the selections played by Mr. Free
man the choir of the church sang two
anthems, "There Is a Green Hill Far
Awa/" and "The King of Glory"?
both by Aehford. One of the- most
popular selections of the evening was
a vocal solo by Miss A a ice Bright, en
titled, "He Shall Feed His Flock."
from the "Messiah." Miss Bright al
ways sings In a manner to captivate
her audience, and last evening her
sweet soprano, excellently trained
and controlled, never appeared to a
better advantage. This number was
the climax of the evening. During
the Intermission between the first
and second parts an offering was ta
kn and Quite a neat sun: was raised
towards defraying the expense of the
occasion. The Methodist Church con
gregation is to be congratulated />n
having such a fine organ. It is m>t
only a credit to the church, but to the
city.
Professor Freeman has consented
to remain over Sunday, so he will
play at both the morning and evning
services tomorrow.

SOME FACTS
How the Nomination Was Made for
Mollcltor tn Eden ton.
The Judicial conventlou held In
Edeuton last week developed some
facts which were not generally
known.
The north aide of the sound wa6
lined up against the south side, and
against Beaufort county especially.
The vote on the first ballot was
Eringhaus,-~57; McMullan. 42; Sim
mons, 36; Daniels, 28.
After this ballot was taken Hyde
county cast Its solid vote for Sim
mons and until the 23d ballot the
vote stood, Erlnghaus, 54; McMullan,
42; Simmons, 41; Daniels, 26.
Mr. Daniels then in a most appro
priate speech withdrew, by so doing
he made many new friends.
On the 23d ballot the vote was:
Ehrlnghaus, 5G; McMullan, 43; Sim
mons, 64. Each ballot showed practi
cally the same results until Thurs
day night about 12 o'clock, when
Chowan gave Simmons seven votes
and the ballot taken showed Ehrlng
haus, 54; McMullan, 3C> ; Simmons,
73. Simmons was within 9 1-2 votes
of the nomination.
The Ehrlnghaus forces anticipat
ing the nomination of Simmons, made
a motion to adjourn. The motion fail
ed, and it was made a second time
and failed.
About 50 of th? delegates residing
in Elizabeth City and Hertford left
for their homes, thereby forcing the
chairman to adjourn.
It seemed to be the concensus of
opinion among the Simmons and Mc
Mullan delegates that Simmons would
have bean nominate^ had the con
vention remained in session a short
don met there was practically no
there' longer. ? ?
Friday morning when the conven
char.ge in the vote and it remained
about the same vote until 7 p. m.
Friday, when McMullan in a very or
nate speech, in keeping with hi* abil
ity as an orWtor, withdrew and his
forces cast their vote for Ehrlng
haus, nominating him with a' vote of
97 1-2 against Simmons' 66 1-2.
It was strictly a locality fight
against Beaufort county.
After the convention had adjourn
ed congratulations were extended to
the successful candidate, and all
promised true allegiance to the party
and that the; would enter into the
campaign with renewed courage and
would win a victory of which the
First District would be proud.

Raleigh. July ID. ? It la said at the
state department of agriculture that
reports from various suctions of the
North Carolina cotton belt indicate a
stand of cotton that Is especially re
sponsive to good weather conditions,
although the plants are two to three
weeks late. And that with fair weath
er conditions for the remainder of the
season, helped up with a reasonably
late fall, will enable the farmers to
get an. average yield. Advices to the
department as to the corn crop Indi
cate prospects for rather poor yield
owlug to the fact that the ears are
not filling out as they should.'*' The
wheat crop Just harvested Is report
ed to be unusually fine as to both the
yield and the quality of the grain.
The yield of what are known as bum
mer apples in the semi-mountain sec
tion of the State Is reported to bo
ly phenomenal. An unfortunate con
dition is that thcro seem to be nc
adequate markets for the fruit, the
growers being cut off even from the
erstwhile resort to selling them to
distillers or making brandy of theiu
for themselves. Greater quantities
than usual are being dried and other
wise prepared for preservation. But
the groat bulk of the crop goes to
waste. Blight is exceptionally wide
spread among apple orchards on the
central and eastern farms In the
State. The peach crop is generally
good, with exceptional yields Ln this
immediate section.
